TV Asahi Holdings Corporation [9409.T]
TOKYO, Feb 12 (Pulse News Wire) -- TV Asahi Holdings Corporation (9409.T), led by Chairman Yo Hayakawa, announced on Sunday that its board of directors has decided to revise the company's dividend policy as part of its new business strategy. The revised plan aims to enhance shareholder returns and align with the upcoming four-year management plan named “START UP Televista!! Business Plan 2026-2029,” which will commence in April 2026.
The company stated that it is committed to improving corporate value and capital efficiency under this new strategic framework. To achieve these goals, TV Asahi Holdings plans to increase its dividend payout ratio to approximately 40% of consolidated net income. This adjustment reflects a shift towards prioritizing stable and continuous dividends while maintaining a balance between internal reserves needed for long-term business stability and shareholder returns.
Previously, the company had focused on sustainable growth through regular dividends, supplemented by special dividends during significant milestones or periods of fluctuating performance. However, the updated policy now emphasizes a more comprehensive approach, taking into account factors such as overall economic conditions, quarterly earnings, investment strategies, and cash flow trends. Additionally, unless facing severe operational challenges leading to substantial declines in performance, the company pledges to maintain a minimum annual dividend per share of ¥60 starting from the fiscal year beginning March 2027.
This change marks a significant step forward in TV Asahi Holdings’ efforts to strengthen its position within Japan’s broadcasting industry while ensuring robust returns for investors.
